- The present invention relates to an optical sheet and, in particular, to a light guiding plate.
- 2. Related Art
- According to the development of display technology, the traditional CRT display apparatuses are replaced by the LCD apparatuses recently. In practice, the LCD apparatuses have been applied to various kinds of electronic products such as notebook computers, televisions and desktop monitors.
- In general, an LCD apparatus includes a backlight module and an LCD panel. Since the LCD panel can not emit light spontaneously, the backlight module is necessary to provide sufficient brightness and even light source for enabling the LCD panel to display images.
-
FIG. 1 is a schematic diagram showing aconventional backlight module 1, which is a side-edged type backlight module. As shown inFIG. 1 , thebacklight module 1 includes alight source 11, areflective plate 12, alight guiding plate 13 and an optical film assembly 14. - The
light source 11 is disposed adjacent to alateral surface 131 of thelight guiding plate 13, and thereflective plate 12 is disposed on abottom surface 132 of thelight guiding plate 13. Thus, thereflective plate 12 can reflect the light emitted out of thelight guiding plate 13 through thebottom surface 132 back to thelight guiding plate 13, so that the light utilization can be increased. The surface of thelight guiding plate 13 facing thereflective plate 12 is usually configured with a plurality ofdots 133, which are formed by printing white ink on thebottom surface 132 of thelight guiding plate 13. The optical film assembly 14 is disposed on thelight guiding plate 13 and is usually includes a lower diffuser 141, a brightness enhancement film 142 and anupper diffuser 143. - The
light guiding plate 13 is commonly plate-shaped. The light emitted from thelight source 11 can enter thelight guiding plate 13 through thelateral surface 131 and then travel through thelight guiding plate 13 to the other end thereof accompanying with total internal reflection. When the light reaches thedots 133, the total internal reflection of the traveling light can be destructed by scattering, so that the light can be scattered out of thelight guiding plate 13 through atop surface 134. It is possible to obtain an evener surface light, which is emitted from thelight source 11 and then outputted from thelight guiding plate 13, by controlling the density of thedots 133. After passing through the optical film assembly 14, the light outputted from thelight guiding plate 13 can be much more even. - In the prior art, the
light guiding plate 13 is usually formed by injection molding. However, the size of the light-guidingplate 13 has sufficiently increased, so that the required injection pressure for the injection molding also increases, which results in the growth of the cost for manufacturing machines and processes. - Therefore, it is an important subjective to provide a light guiding plate, which has lower manufacturing cost and is capable of forming even surface light source.
- In view of the foregoing, the present invention is to provide a light guiding plate, which has lower manufacturing cost.
- To achieve the above, the present invention discloses a light guiding plate including a light guiding plate body and a plurality of total internal reflection destruction materials. The light guiding plate body has a first surface and a second surface opposite to the first surface. The first surface has a first microstructure array. The material of the total internal reflection destruction materials is different from that of the light guiding body, and the total internal reflection destruction materials are unevenly distributed on the first surface and/or the second surface.
- As mentioned above, the light guiding plate of the present invention has a first surface with the first microstructure array, and the materials of the light guiding plate body and the total internal reflection destruction materials are different. Compared with the prior art, the light guiding plate body of the present invention can be manufactured by the rolling process, so that the cost for manufacturing machines and processes can be reduced. Moreover, the light guiding plate of the present invention can be easily fabricated in mass production. In addition, the second surface of the light guiding plate body may further have a second microstructure array for further enhancing the uniformity of the outputted light. Furthermore, some of the total internal reflection destruction materials are light permeable, which facilitates the light refraction for forming the even surface light source.

- With reference to
FIG. 2 , alight guiding plate 2 according to a first embodiment of the present invention includes a light guidingplate body 3 and a plurality of total internalreflection destruction materials 4. In the embodiment, thelight guiding plate 2 is used in a side-edged type backlight module for example. - The light guiding
plate body 3 has afirst surface 31 and asecond surface 32 disposed opposite to each other. Thefirst surface 31 has afirst microstructure array 311, which may include prisms, convex lenses, lenticular lenses, concave lenses, Fresnel lenses, or their combinations. In this embodiment, thefirst microstructure array 311 includes a plurality oflenticular lenses 311 a, which are arranged in an array. As shown inFIG. 2 , thelenticular lenses 311 a are arranged in parallel along a first direction D1, which means that thelenticular lenses 311 a are arranged in one dimension. -
FIG. 3 is a sectional view of the light guidingplate 2 ofFIG. 2 . As shown inFIG. 3 , the section of eachlenticular lens 311 a is arc-shaped. Of course, the section of thelenticular lens 311 a may be semicircular or in other shapes. In this case, eachlenticular lens 311 a has a top point, and the distance P1 between two adjacent top points is ranged from 5 to 500 μm. In addition, eachlenticular lens 311 a has a height H1 ranged from 5 to 500 μm. Otherwise, the distance P1 and the height H1 may be not a constant value instead of a periodical variable value. - The total internal
reflection destruction materials 4 are different from the material of thelight guiding body 3 and are unevenly distributed on thefirst surface 31 and/or thesecond surface 32. In this embodiment, the total internalreflection destruction materials 4 are disposed on thefirst surface 31 for example. The light emitted from the light source L enters one end of thelight guiding plate 2 and is than outputted from thelight guiding plate 2 through thefirst surface 31. The positions of the total internalreflection destruction materials 4 are not limited, and they can be disposed on the convex portions of thelenticular lenses 311 a or the concave portions between thelenticular lenses 311 a. The shapes of the total internalreflection destruction materials 4 can be circular, elliptic, convex polygonal, concave polygonal, irregular or their combinations. In addition, the total internalreflection destruction materials 4 can be formed by mixing a transparent polymer material with a plurality of scattering particles. Of course, the total internalreflection destruction materials 4 can also be formed by white ink or other materials capable of changing the traveling direction of the light so as to destruct the total internal reflection. If the total internalreflection destruction materials 4 are formed by mixing a transparent polymer material with a plurality of scattering particles, the material of the scattering particles can be organic polymer or inorganic material such as PMMA (polymethyl methacrylate), TiO2, MgO2, SiO2, glass, BaSO4, or gas (e.g. air or inert gas). Since the total internalreflection destruction materials 4 contain the transparent polymer material, at least a part thereof is light permeable. Therefore, even if the total internalreflection destruction materials 4 are disposed on the light outputting surface of the light guidingplate body 3, they will not block all outputted light so as to keep the intensity of the outputted light. - To be noted, the total internal
reflection destruction materials 4 contain the transparent polymer material and the scattering particles, so that the light, which is emitted from the light source L, and travels in the light guidingplate body 3 with several times of total internal reflection, and then reaches the transparent polymer material, can be refracted due to the different of the refraction indexes of the transparent polymer material and the light guidingplate body 3. Accordingly, the light traveling path can be changed and thus the total internal reflection can be destructed. When the light reaches the scattering particles, it can be scattered, which can also change the traveling path of the light so as to destruct the total internal reflection. These configurations can help thelight guiding plate 2 to output the evener light. - In order to make the light outputted from the
light guiding plate 2 become a surface light source, the distribution of the total internalreflection destruction materials 4 may be designed in accordance with the different aspects of thefirst microstructure array 311 of thelight guiding plate 2. For example, the distribution density or area of the total internalreflection destruction materials 4 is smaller at the position closer to the light source L; otherwise, the distribution density or area of the total internalreflection destruction materials 4 is larger at the position far away from the light source L. By the non-evenly distributed total internalreflection destruction materials 4, the light traveling in thelight guiding plate 2 can be scattered and then outputted evenly, so that thelight guiding plate 2 can form a surface light source. In order to reach the non-even distribution and acceptable optical properties of the total internalreflection destruction materials 4, the total internalreflection destruction materials 4 are formed on thefirst surface 31 and/or thesecond surface 32 by sand blasting, printing or ink-jet printing. In practice, before utilizing the printing or sand blasting to form the total internalreflection destruction materials 4, a plate or mesh plate with predetermined pattern is prepared. Then, the transparent polymer material mixed with the scattering particles is sand blasted or printed on the light guidingplate body 3 with passing through the plate or mesh plate. Consequently, the predetermined distribution of the transparent polymer material and the scattering particles, which is a non-even distribution, can be formed on the light guidingplate body 3. In this case, since the total internalreflection destruction materials 4 and the light guidingplate body 3 are separately formed, their materials can be different. - Hereinafter, the fabrication of the light guiding
plate body 3 according to the first embodiment will be described with reference to FIG, 4. - The material of the light guiding
plate body 3 is a transparent polymer material such as PC (polycarbonate), PMMA (polymethyl methacrylate), PET (polyethylene terephthalate), polystyrene, polyester, polyolefin, polyether, polyether-ester, polymethacrylate, or PEP (polyperfluorinated ethylene propylene). In this embodiment, the light guidingplate body 3 is made of a transparent polymer material such as PC (polycarbonate). In more detailed, the melted transparent polymer material 3 t is firstly outputted from a tank T and then pressed by an embossed roller R1 with predetermined concave pattern and a planar roller R2. After a cooling process, the light guidingplate body 3 with afirst surface 31 having the first microstructure array is obtained. The predetermined concave pattern of the embossed roller R1 may be changed in accordance with the desired shape of the first microstructure array. This can be simply reached by pre-forming a complementary shape of the first microstructure array on the embossed roller R1. - As mentioned above, the light guiding
plate body 3 can be fabricated in mass production by the rolling process in cooperating with the roller R1 with the predetermined concave pattern and the planar roller R2. After a proper cutting process, the desired light guidingplate body 3 can be manufactured. Due to the limitation of the surface areas of the rollers R1 and R2, the pattern of the first microstructure array may periodically appear on the light guidingplate body 3. In addition, the rollers R1 and R2 used in the rolling process are cheaper and the modification of the pattern is easy (e.g. forming or modifying the pattern on the roller by laser engraving), so that the manufacturing cost of thelight guiding plate 2 can be reduced. -
